Intro

Instructable user mikesoniat gave us permission to share his awesome project for making a solar shrub for charging your devices. He built the original solar shrub last year with the goal of making a USB solar charger that not only provided clean energy but also looked featured a good looking design.

He won the Green Tech contest on Instructables last year for the first version and now he's back with a new and improved solar shrub project that has a higher output current, an internal lithium battery for indoor and outdoor charging options and a sealed water resistant enclosure to protect it.
